HiFiMan scores again
At this point I have run out of things to write about the quality, precision and comfort of HiFiMan products. I guess I'm a bit bias because now I own the EF400, EF500 and six pairs of headphones, HE560 V1 and V4,Deva and HE-R9 both with the bluemini, Ananda Nano, and Arya Organic. The soundstage of all of these headphones are much brighter and sharper when paired with either one of these amps. I have purchased both of the amps because I have a Mac and a PC.

Too bright
Compared to the EF499 the EF500 is too bright and strident in the treble. It's not worth the premium over the EF499 for me.
